Now connected by the Mill Towns State Trail bridge over the Cannon River, Dakota County’s Lake Byllesby Regional Park is located on the northern side of the lake, directly across from the Goodhue County park.
The Upper Lake Area of the park has an additional (shallow water) boat launch, picnic area, and portable toilets. This part of the park can be accessed from 23rd Ave Way, approximately 1 mile east of TH 56, and is not handicap accessible.
Goodhue County and Dakota County entered a joint venture in 2016 to develop master plans that create a unified vision for the futures of the two parks and provide planning tools for park development projects.
